Delicious Meals

The food at Hotel Waterbuck was excellent! Each meal was carefully prepared with great attention to detail. The breakfast spread was a good surprise, featuring a variety of fresh and tasty options that catered to every preference. I especially enjoyed the surf and turf for dinner, which was easily one of the best meals I've had in ages.

Convenient Business Setup

Hotel Waterbuck has well-equipped conference halls which are spacious and come with a public address system and quality furniture. As someone who often travels for work, I found their facilities quite impressive. They also offer reliable Wi-Fi, which is crucial for any business event.

Fun Entertainment Options

During my stay, I was thrilled to find that Hotel Waterbuck hosted entertaining events, including a comedy show that added a fun twist to my evening. It was the perfect way to unwind after a long day, and I wish I had known sooner so I could have brought friends along.

Comfortable and Spacious Rooms

The rooms at Hotel Waterbuck are very comfortable and spacious. I appreciated the daily cleaning service, and the beds provided a restful sleep, which I deeply needed during my travels. Although I thought extra power sockets would enhance the experience, the overall comfort was still commendable.

I had a decent stay at Hotel Waterbuck, with good food and friendly staff making for a pleasant experience. The location near a shopping mall is quite convenient. However, the rooms need some updating, and we had a frustrating issue during checkout that left a sour note on an otherwise enjoyable stay.

The hotel is situated in a shopping center, which makes it somewhat convenient, but there aren't many interesting dining options around. The room I stayed in was recently renovated and offered good value for the price. However, the Wi-Fi only worked in the lobby, and it took a while for the shower to get hot. Overall, it had friendly service and decent facilities, although sleeping might be a concern due to noise from the nearby main street.
